Hotel, Central London

The Brief Brief


To redesign 3 of the top floor bedrooms of a small Georgian Hotel in Central London.  The rooms on the top floor are generally smaller than those on lower floors.  The ceilings are also very low, particularly by Georgian standards.  The Hotel has no lift, so the top floor rooms are generally occupied by younger guests. 


The Hotel owner would like to 'freshen-up' the rooms.  The new design needs to lighten the rooms and make them feel more spacious.  She is not strict about keeping to Georgian style, but she does like some of the traditional features of that period.  She would like the rooms to have a contemporary edge but not to feel cold and uninviting.


The existing furniture is to be kept unless damaged, with the possibility of changing layouts or moving pieces of furniture to or from other rooms.  Additional furniture can be bought if required.


Two of the bedrooms have en-suit bathrooms.  The layouts must stay the same due to plumbing restrictions, but all wall and floor coverings should be changed, as well as all sanitary ware and brass ware. The bathrooms should reflect the final design of the bedrooms.  The third room has a wash basin, which is to be replaced.

Presentation Boards

This board shows sample colours of the paint chosen for the walls and woodwork, which is a shade darker.  A Photoshop elevation shows how one wall will look when finished.  Below, the bedspread material is sampled with the cushion fabric.  The large swatch is an example of the fire retardant blackout blind material with netting sample overlapping.

The images and tile sample on this board are for the single room with basin only.

New sanitary ware, brass ware, wall and floor coverings and new lighting for the en-suite bathrooms.  Due to the different shapes of the two bathrooms, different shower units were used.
